There's an unwritten universal law known in stargazing as 'Spode's Law' which says if something can go wrong it will go wrong!

For stargazers, this usually manifests as cloudy skies whenever there's an astronomical event; but allow Sky Watch to introduce you to one Guillaume Le Gentil, an 18th century French astronomer who was perhaps the unluckiest observer ever!

Discover what you can see in the Petersphere night skies this month with the latest Sky Watch.

Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, and voiced by Claire Vennis, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.
